Saline stress impairs germination and initial plant growth. However, discontinuous hydration cycles induce osmotic tolerance in seeds can improve the response of maize to saline stress. The objective this study was evaluate action with different salt elicitors on germination, growth, adjustment cultivars. Maize BR 206 BRS 5037 Cruzeta cultivars were subjected following treatments: 0.0 mmol NaCl...

The potential protective role of priming wheat seeds with maize green extract (MGE) against the stress effects drought was studied. Pretreatment using MGE, MGE enriched polyamines (MGEPA), and treatments (irrigation deficit 30% (severe drought) or 60% (moderate versus 90% relative water content soil as a control) were applied in factorial completely randomized design. Under moderate drought, pr...

The compatible solutes ectoine and hydroxyectoine are widely produced by bacteria as protectants against osmotic and temperature stress. l-Aspartate-beta-semialdehyde is used as the precursor molecule for ectoine/hydroxyectoine biosynthesis that is catalyzed by the EctABCD enzymes. l-Aspartate-beta-semialdehyde is a central intermediate in different biosynthetic pathways and is produced from l-...

Potassium (K) deficiency damaged membrane stability through irregular reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by K stress while osmotic adjustment and antioxidant capacities play an essential role in preventing plants from oxidative damages. To investigate the difference of osmoprotectants enzyme activities root, two representative maize varieties, 90-21-3 (K-tolerant) D937 (K-sensitive), were hyd...

Abstract Drought stress is one of the most severe abiotic stresses affecting adversely plant growth, crop production, and various metabolic processes. Using seaweed extract in mitigating water adverse effects highly important for production. The present study discussed physiological role ( Sargassum denticulatum ) improving wheat tolerance to stress. Water (40% field capacity) caused significan...

Enzymes play significant roles in metabolic processes of seeds. Therefore, this study evaluated osmoregulatory potential some osmoprotectants on activities hydrolytic enzymes the seeds two cultivars (SOSAT.C-88 and CV. LCIC 9702) sorghum bicolor. Matured were harvested prepared for alpha, beta, total amylase proteinase assay. The produced variations at 10 14 days (DA) 8 weeks after treatments (...

Cinnamomum camphora methanolic extract was tested for antifungal activity against three common, isolated, widespread phytopathogens: Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, and oxysporum, which were molecularly identified assigned accession numbers ON795987, ON795988, ON795989, respectively. At 4000 µg/mL, the highest concentration of C. inhibits fungal mycelia weight F. A. solani by 60, 49, 24%...
